I live in Portland and have the Firehawk 500 and love them. They handle great in the rain and hook up very well. I have found them to be extremely quiet especially compared to the original RFT. Now with that, I have never had a performance/summer tire that was any good below 60 degrees. So I switch to winter/snow tires which are squirrely as all get out, but what do you expect for skinny snow tires in the snow.
For the Firehawk, I went with 225/40 front and 255/35 rear.
